Modding my Pacific blue burst Axis.

[Colin]

looks great

Great work! At the end of the day, its your guitar so modify it any way you see fit!

Really greatjob.... only the empty screw holes in the pickguard look a bit strange. I'd saw off some heads of the screws and glue them into the pickguard holes.

She's beautiful and probably plays great but, I agree with V_S about the screw holes...

Fantastic job! Really looks great. Good call on the FLs, too- they kill.

The single coils are Suhr Fletcher Landaus by the way - definitely my favourite single coils.

These pickups are awesome. I have a set in my Strat.

It sounds so amazing, and I'm so glad that I dared to do this, because it has made my number one guitar even more amazing than I thought it could be - This guitar does everything from sparkly cleans to full on metal. Absolutely amazing.

Sounds like a lot of fun going on

Thanks a lot for the nice comments. I'm getting more and more excited about this guitar, each time I play it - I'm so thrilled that I did this mod. I just cut a new demo for one of my bands with it this monday, and it sounded great.

When I first saw this thread I thought that the modding of this guitar was a waste. Putting a pickguard over a nice top.

But now looking at it a couple of more times, I kinda like it.

Well done!

Killer dude, just killer!

That is pretty sick looking! I love the look of the Axis with a PG, like when the sport first came out.

Well done,

Just stumbled across these old thread.

The guitar looks great and the switching promising. Do you have something to listen to?

I bought this guitar from the OP last year, and it's truly a great guitar.

Here is a sound clip I made with this guitar https://soundcloud.com/jumpingjames/musicman-axis

Thank you for chiming in. Indeed, really nice sounds and great playing too (...at least, as we all know, it comes from the fingers .

Thank you! Since the OP started this thread, the pickups have been changed slightly:
The middle pickup is now a DiMarzio virtual Vintage '54, and the neck pickup has been changed to the original humbucker again.

Before I bought it, my main guitar was a Charvel So-Cal, but now I'm playing this one almost exclusively.
